A detailed one-page vocabulary sheet for GCSE English Language Paper 2: Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives.
Organised under informative headings, this vocabulary-rich sheet can be used as a reference sheet for reading and discussing non-fiction texts, or while planning and writing an exam response.
Example statements show how some of the phrases can be used.
The resource includes full-colour, and black and white options.
A short extract from an essay at the turn of the century to familiarise students with the language and writing styles of the 19th century. Short activities accompany the extract, based on some of the skills required for Paper 2 Question 4.
In lieu of the recent announcement that the AQA English Language GCSE will feature as one of its Paper 2 sources an extract from a 19th century essay, this short extract with accompanying activities, aims to:
expose students to the language and style of the 19th century essay
provide opportunities to discern perspectives, viewpoints, feelings and ideas
engage students in the process of analysing a writer’s methods
While the extract is shorter than the source that will be provided in an actual exam insert, it is designed to build confidence in students’ approaches to this more challenging element of the course, and develops the necessary skills for Q4 separate from the element of comparison.
Each of the 3 pages features differentiated activities, including:
choosing statements on perspective that are best matched to the extract
finding evidence in the text for a range of statements about perspective
a glossary of vocabulary that may be uncommon to students
an EMI (evidence, methods, inferences) planning table
a P2Q4-style question based on a single source
success criteria pulled from the P2Q4 mark scheme.
Look out for more extracts as I produce them for use with my students!

Repeated practice of applying Pythagoras’ Theorem to find c².
Students start at the base of the mountain, calculating the missing sides to find the total length of two mountain paths - routes A and B - to compare which is the shorter route.
Great as a homework activity or to be used competitively between students/ sides of the room etc. as a ‘race to the top’.
